Peanut Butter?

I am almost 6 weeks out had Surgery Aug. 30th. I am still on soft foods and will start transitioning to "real food" in the next week or so. I have several friends at my church who have had the surgery and one suggested peanut butter as protein source. I didn't see this on my "approved" list yet. Has anyone tried it? If so what kind? I worry about sugar content anything above 8 grams makes me dump or giving me bad cramps.

I had my surgery the same date as yours. Peanut butter is on my list. One of the recommended meals is 3 saltine crackers and 1 T. peanut butter. I don't have it often but it is good. Dianna

I found Adams Peanut Butter has a variety that doesn't have any sugar. Also, there are a few stores and maybe some health food stores where you can grind your own PB so you know it's only made of peanuts. I tried a bit of regular peanut butter and it was terrible. I'd wait until I got the sugar free if I were you. Carol

i tsp peanut butter is on my list to just put it in your mouth and let it melt. that is what my doctors nurse said to do. said it will give you a real boost of energy. I didnt think i would like it like that but it is pretty good. I use regular store brand. Jan

I buy natural peanut butter, I think Smuckers makes it. It has no sugar. I prefer it.

I personally havent gotten the nerve to try it yet....I fear it getting STUCK...ouch! Pat honey how are ya my fellow 8/28 gal?

I had my surgery on August 29th and I eat peanut butter by Jif (simply)it has 33% less sugar than regular Jif peanut butter and low sodium and also I eat Lance or Utzs already made peanut and crackers. I have not have any problems.

I love Peanut Butter....I eat it often. Hugs, Traci

Natural peanut butter. adams creamy, is on my list. I only use it if I am craving something sweet which isn't often. I'll take a teaspoon and just nibble on that. Really stops any craving and does give an energy boost.

Me too, I have it on toast almost every morning. No problems. Cindy
